Love this guitar! Kind of expensive though after seeing a few other reviews from people who got it for a lot less than I did. (although their reviews were five years or so ago) great action beautiful sound. Haven't plugged in into an Amp yet but I'm sure with Fishman electronics it will sound great. Unfortunately much like a few other people I didn't get a picksampler (or even one pick) no big deal I have enough picks I just don't like being told I'm getting something with my purchase and then not getting it. Oh also really nice gig bag!

It has so many brilliant innovations too many to list, down side, the strap pin is on the neck making cutaway playing awkward, plus my personal preference is the square neck to body joint Not those cutesy triangular ones, no use for pick guard and it required a fret dress, enough negative stuff said, plays great feels wonderful I would prefer a 660 mm long scale, BUY one

As leftys know, it can be tough to find a playable instrument. Stores don't stock them so it's not easy to try them out. This Sawtooth 12-string lefty acoustic guitar is great. The tuner is great. The electric pickup is great. It is a brassy sounding guitar, and it is not overly loud. The amplified sound is far less brassy, and if you play amplified just enough to equal the level of the guitar's acoustic output they are just great together. I am playing the original strings and string choice may be a factor in the brassiness - which isn't bad, it is just the timbre of the particular instrument. I play it through a Fishman Aura, with many settings to choose from that work well. The neck is fat as one would expect of a 12-string. Craftmanship appears 100%. Sawtooth uses gun patches in it, similar in that way to my Martin. There is a lot of great inlay in relatively inexpensive guitars out there, and this Sawtooth has great inlay work on the fretboard, though I do find it a bit large and loud. For some players that might be great, but I've mostly figured out where the frets are already so the big inlays are a bit flashier than I would prefer. On the other hand, it is a beautiful guitar but looks aren't that important to me. At a distance the fretboard inlay looks almost as stickers but they're really great inlay work. The sustain of this guitar is rather amazing and it carries through the pickup to the amplified sound. The case is lightweight, but adequate to the instrument. The case has binding clips on both sides. The pick guard has a plastic film on it, peel that off. The tuning machines are just great, as good as the grover mini's I put on my other 12-string. They turn uniformly and without binding or dead spots. The intonation is amazing - as a lefty, I have found that several guitars I've bought over the years, play an F chord out of tune with the other chords which for me means something wrong with the string lengths - with its compensated saddle this guitar plays a perfect F. It stays in tune as well which is pretty awesome for a 12-string because it's so much work to deal with 12 string tuning. The tuner is fast and very easy to see and understand. Have to appreciate that, some built-in tuners are ridiculous junk. The guitar came well packaged. Yep it's a winner. As with any guitar you will want to invest in a good humidifier to have with it in its case and check on it regularly, don't leave the instrument out in the open if your home or castle experiences varying humidity. I've lost 3 guitars due to that negligence, so learn from my mistakes and invest in a good humidifier, if you skimp on that then down the road you're gonna lose some guitars that you wrote precious songs on. Happy playing!

I've been playing guitar for 20+ years, owning all of the fancy USA models in the process...Gibson, Taylor, Martin...

I wanted a cheap 12-string cutaway for S&Giggles, but didn't want to spend a fortune in the process.

HOLY COW!!! This thing is AMAZING!!! I dont care if it is made in China, this thing is quality. Beautifully flamed maple back and sides, spruce top, heavy weight, and beautiful tone. I had to adjust the truss rod when I got it, but this thing flat out rocks. Holding it up next to my Gibson EC-20 Starburst, there is very little difference in the overall build, design, beauty, and functionality for a jumbo guitar.

The case it came with was so nice, I actually MOVED my Gibson into that one and put the 12-string in my Gibson case!

You can't beat this for $350. It's an awesome guitar and definitely one you can take anywhere... a gorgeous guitar that won't kill your pocket book if it gets damaged. Perfect!!!

Referencing the example I received, it's absolutely perfect! There are no gaps or poorly fitted joints anywhere on this guitar. This guitar arrived in a hard case as ordered. Obviously the instrument had been tested and played as the setup is perfect for me. This guitar tuned up in minutes and was ready to play. The Fishman preamp is powerful and the tuner is as accurate as any I own. The strait grain in the top wood is just visible below the finish (something I like to see in a solid wood instrument). This is an excellent purchase. The case is nice as well.
